Beams and Accelerators with MATLAB(with companion media pack)

Dan Green

World Scientific Publishers 2018

ISBN: 978-981-3237-46-9

244 pages

Description

This book explores a first introduction to particle beams and accelerators.
The text uses the suite of tools made available in the MATLAB package.
Since many colleges have a site wide license, these tools are often freely
available to students. A brief introduction to those tools is made initially.
Analogues in classical optics are introduced where useful. The text is compact
and focuses on graphical data display and dynamical "movies" as an aid to
understanding specific systems. Hands on dialogue using command line inputs,
"apps", and "live" tools are stressed. The extensive algebraic steps are subsumed
into the associated scripts, where the symbolic math utilities spare the reader
from the math manipulations. Both beams and periodic structures are covered.
Dispersion, insertions, acceleration and light sources are discussed.

Description

This unique book, written by one of the world's foremost specialists in the field, is devoted to the
design of low and medium field electromagnets whose field level and quality (uniformity) are dominated
by the pole shape and saturation characteristics of the iron yoke.The wide scope covers material ranging
from the physical requirements for typical high performance accelerators, through the mathematical
relationships which describe the shape of two-dimensional magnetic fields, to the mechanical fabrication,
assembly, installation, and alignment of magnets in a typical accelerator lattice. In addition, stored
energy concepts are used to develop magnetic force relationships and expressions for magnets with time
varying fields.The material in the book is derived from lecture notes used in a course at the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory and subsequently expanded for the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, making
this text an invaluable reference for students planning to enter the field of high energy physics.
Mathematical relationships tying together magnet design and measurement theory are derived from first
principles, and chapters are included that describe mechanical design, fabrication, installation, and alignment.
Some fabrication and assembly practices are reviewed to ensure personnel and equipment safety and operational
reliability of electromagnets and their power supply systems. This additional coverage makes the book an
important resource for those already in the particle accelerator business as well as those requiring the
design and fabrication of low and medium field level magnets for charged particle beam transport in ion
implantation and medical applications.

Managing Science: Management for R and D Laboratories

Claude Gelès, Gilles Lindecker, Mel Month, Christian Roche

Wiley 2000

ISBN: 978-3-527-61730-2

378 pages

Description

A unique "how-to" manual for the management of scientific laboratories

This book presents a complete set of tools for the management of research and development laboratories and projects.
With an emphasis on knowledge rather than profit as a measure of output and performance, the authors apply standard
management principles and techniques to the needs of high-flux, open-ended, separately funded science and technology
enterprises. They also propose the novel idea that failure, and incipient failure, is an important measure of an
organization's potential.

From the management of complex, round-the-clock, high-tech operations to strategies for long-term planning,
Managing Science: Management for R&D Laboratories discusses how to build projects with the proper research and
development, obtain and account for funding, and deal with rapidly changing technologies, facilities, and trends.
The entire second part of the book is devoted to personnel issues and the impact of workplace behavior on the various
functions of a knowledge-based organization.

Drawing on four decades of involvement with the management of scientific laboratories, the authors thoroughly
illustrate their philosophy with real-world examples from the physics field and provide tables and charts.
Managers of scientific laboratories as well as scientists and engineers expecting to move into management will
find Managing Science: Management for R&D Laboratories an invaluable practical guide.

World Scientific 2012

Second Edition, 2004

First Edition, 1999

ISBN-13: 978-9814374941

533 pages

Description

Research and development of high energy accelerators began in 1911. Since then, milestones achieved are:
(1) development of high gradient dc and rf accelerators, (2) achievement of high field magnets with excellent
field quality, (3) discovery of transverse and longitudinal beam focusing principles, (4) invention of high power
rf sources, (5) improvement of ultra-high vacuum technology, (6) attainment of high brightness (polarized/unpolarized)
electron/ionsources, (7) advancement of beam dynamics and beam manipulation schemes, such as beam injection,
accumulation, slow and fast extraction, beam damping and beam cooling, instability feedback, laser-beam interaction
and harvesting instability for high brilliance coherent photon source. The impacts of the accelerator development
are evidenced by the many ground-breaking discoveries in particle and nuclear physics, atomic and molecular physics,
condensed matter physics, biology, biomedical physics, nuclear medicine, medical therapy, and industrial processing.
This book is intended to be used as a graduate or senior undergraduate textbook in accelerator physics and science.
It can be used as preparatory course material in graduate accelerator physics thesis research. The text covers
historical accelerator development, transverse betatron motion, synchrotron motion, an introduction to linear
accelerators, and synchrotron radiation phenomena in low emittance electron storage rings, introduction to special
topics such as the free electron laser and the beam-beam interaction. Attention is paid to derivation of the
action-angle variables of the phase space, because the transformation is important for understanding advanced
topics such as the collective instability and nonlinear beam dynamics. Each section is followed by exercises,
which are designed to reinforce concepts and to solve realistic accelerator design problems.
